So Alyssa Slotkin and four other individuals, we reminded members of the military that they are not to follow illegal law orders.

So when orders and the law are in conflict, you comply with the law.

A basic thing in the U.S.

military, everybody's taught it.

We put out a video, president didn't like it.

He immediately goes to, they should be hanged.

executed, prosecuted.

I mean, the guy couldn't even get the order right.

Yeah, so then he tried to indict us, and the grand jury returned a unanimous basically take a hike decision.

You're not indicting these people.

I mean, unanimous, that like never happens.

Now Hegseth is trying to

reduce me in rank and take away some of my pension.

I retired as a Navy captain in 06, after 25 years, he's trying to bust me down in rank, so I sued him.

But here's the thing, this isn't really about me.

This is about the other 2 million retired service members out there that this administration, this president wants to take away their rights to speak out against the government.

And, you know, that's wrong.

And I think it's unconstitutional.

And they're in violation of my First Amendment rights.

And just by extension, every other retired service member, I've heard from service members, retired admirals and generals, that they have now changed what they are saying and doing because of this administration going after me.
